We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Cohesity DataProtect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When you're looking at your dashboard, you can see all your active jobs. You can see exactly if they're successful or failed and you can actually drill down and see what caused the problem. The fact you can see that right away is nice."
"Quick backup and restore; very simple and understandable interface."
"The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
"The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to copy quickly. We have about 12 terabytes, and trying to copy that volume size through the file structure would take a week. BDRSuite has a different approach to copying and is much faster."
"We have seen ROI. The real return is when something bad happens. All the proof of concept work that we did, all the testing we did, it all panned out for us. We're already seeing a return on that."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The restores are easy to do and have made it so that we can incorporate restores into our troubleshooting processes."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"I love the ability to clone a virtual server in only minutes."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"It's completely reliable and easy to restore."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"I saw that it's not possible to have the last full backup duplicated on our site. Therefore, if I have a lot of information on the main site, I would not want to copy any information to those site servers. It would be nice to be able to make a copy of the last full backup."
"They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."
"The deduplication could be better. It doesn't give the level of deduplication that I would get with a product that's stored in a more standard file format. I would prefer to be able to use a non-deduplicated store on a third-party deduplicated medium."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."
"Features I would like to see include a more visible data lifecycle monitoring tab, and an easier to read backup status dashboard."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"Add the ability to delete View Boxes and External Targets in the GUI."
"At times, you may click the wrong server or click too fast and accidentally restore a cluster of servers. It would be very helpful to have a cancel option under restores."
